Personally I think you're right Antoine, this IS a bug and not just a problem created by myself. The operations are simple:
STEPS: 1. Insert a USB drive into your computer or laptop. 2. Run "Create a USB startup disk". 3. Select an ISO disc image of an Ubuntu Operating System (for example). 4. Select or confirm your USB key in the bottom section and make sure it has enough space (I use empty 4GB sticks). 5. Optionally, set Documents and Settings size or turn this option off. 6. Click Create or whatever it is. 7. Theoretically, when operation is finished you should have a fully functioning bootable USB stick with an Ubuntu installation on it ready to be inserted into a machine and booted off. REALITY: When process is finished the USB key is not bootable on machines that can boot from USB sticks. GRUB Error 17 appears immediately during boot process. This suggests to me that this programme to the ordinary user, while easy to use and difficult to make mistakes does not in fact create successful bootable USB sticks and that is a bug. -- "Create a USB startup disk" does not create bootable USB sticks - GRUB Error 17 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285713 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
